Team Managers must be at the rink at last 45 minutes before scheduled game time.  They must check-in with the WAHA Site Director, showing their USA rosters and Proof of Age documents prior to their first game.  All teams must have a certified coach on the bench and only coaches may be on the bench! Remember, there will be two teams managers that need to have all the paperwork checked and it will take time. So, please help out by being at the rink early. 

Teams should be at the rink and ready to play 30 minutes before the schedule start time.

Games ending in a tie will continue with 8 minute Overtime periods until a winner is determined.  Teams will not change ends. There will be a one (1) minute break between Overtime periods. 

Each team is allowed one (1) timeout per game.  Teams do not get an extra timeout for overtime periods. 

All games must be completed in their entirety – NO TIME shall be taken off the clock for any reason.

Any time a team has a six (6) goal lead the game will go to running time.  Stop time will resume only if the lead is cut below six (6) goals. 

 During running time:

  • The clock is stopped when a goal is scored, to assess a penalty, for injuries or at the request of the on-ice officials.  Once the puck is dropped to restart play, running time resumes.
  • Running time continues during the serving of penalties.
  • If the penalty expires during a stoppage of play the penalized player must remain in the penalty box until the puck is dropped to start play.

  • If a player is serving a penalty that must wait for a stoppage of play, (e.g. Misconduct, Co-incidental minors) the player(s) may return to the ice during the stoppage if it does not hold up play. Otherwise the player(s) must wait until the next stoppage.

Each Official must sign the score sheet, legibly. 

Each team must provide off-ice officials for the scorekeeper, game clock and each penalty box.  Highest Ranked Team is “Home Team” and Must provide an official score sheet. 

There will a WAHA representative at each rink. They will be in a black and tan coat with DCYHC on it and can answer any questions or solve any problem.  Protests will be handled according to WAHA By-law , Article 4, Paragraph 20, page 56 of the WAHA Book.
